Biden’s Oil Madness

Victor Davis Hanson;

[T]he Biden Administration’s climate-change envoy, multimillionaire and private-jet owning John Kerry, laments that Russian president Vladimir Putin might no longer remain his partner in reducing global warming.

“You’re going to lose people’s focus,” Kerry frets. “You’re going to lose big-country attention because they will be diverted, and I think it could have a damaging impact”

“Impact”?

Did the global moralist Kerry mean by “impact” the over 650 Russian missiles that impacted Ukrainian buildings and tore apart children?

Are Russian soldiers losing their green “focus”? When Putin threatens nuclear war is he merely “diverted”? Would letting off a few nukes be “damaging” to the human environment?

Climate-change moralists love humanity so much in the abstract that they must shut down its life-giving gas, coal, and oil in the concrete. And they value humans so little that they don’t worry in the here and now that ensuing fuel shortages and exorbitant costs cause wars, spike inflation, and threaten people’s ability to travel or keep warm.

  1. One of the startling things about the Biden administration is that they can’t stop talking. Eventually they have said so much that it is apparent how insane they are. Kerry is the best example of this. Equally startling is their inability to learn. Biden fails to note the obviously suicidal behavior of Germany, who gave Russia leverage over Western Europe via natural gas supplies, and now seeks to give Iran and Venezuela the same leverage, relative to the US. This entire administration couldn’t be trusted to operate a daycare facility for an afternoon; but at least there’s no more mean tweets.

    1. JOJO…

      Good read. The utter WARMONGERING of world wide MSM is nauseating to say the least….Seems to me the issue is almost like the Commie/Lefts Politic Intelligentsia can’t/couldn’t kill us via Covid (quick enough that is), and significantly reduce population #’s..?? Well then, a few well placed Nukes aught to accomplish that eh..??

      Nice to see the unearthing of Bio Weapons Labs Fully Bought n Paid for by US Interests…

      WHO KNEW WHAT AND WHEN..trial begins when.???

      Fucking Madness.

    2. …. that ensuing fuel shortages and exorbitant costs cause wars …

      Once again … VDH falls in lockstep with the chorus of anti-Putin, pro-War hysteria and propaganda emanating from EVERY media outlet … esp. Fox News.

      a). There is NO fuel shortage. The only place I’ve seen a gas line is at COSTCO … because they are selling gas $1.00/gal. cheaper than anywhere else. Who has been turned-away at the pump? Has fuel demand spiked or cratered? No.
      b). The exorbitant cost is due ENTIRELY to Wall Street speculation based on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine … not the other way around. Wall Street is funding Putin’s War.

      I honestly expect much clearer thinking and analysis from VDH. But when you’re deep in the bag with the willfully ignorant anti-Putin hysteric’s … you lose your mind. What is VDH willfully ignorant of? He refuses to analyze Putin’s invasion from Putin’s vantage point of; an expanding NATO, US corruption of Ukraine, and the decided loss of Ukraine as a buffer State. VDH will do himself a favor by re-studying the Cuban Missile Crisis and applying the same Real-Politic to Russia.

      Come on VDH … you’re better than this. You’re smarter than this. Who or what has gotten to you? I have my own theory … which is VDH has become a “Never -again- Trumper” … and doesn’t want to be associated with anyone who rightfully called Putin’s TIMING to invade Ukraine as “genius”. Genius to use the most feckless, disorganized, and cowardly administration in USA History.

  2. “the over 650 Russian missiles that impacted Ukrainian buildings and tore apart children”

    Which is a grotesque lie. Hanson used to be an interesting and informative writer. But nowadays he is just a shill for the American Ruling Class, like Meade. He cannot be trusted for simple facts anymore.

    1. Well bobby. Looks like you are wrong on that comment.
      Thanks to Roaddog.

      Now who is the fool?

      1. How so? Please tell me which “suburban” target is illegitimate … when the entire remaining population has been armed and conscripted by the Ukraine Puppet-President? Please convince me that the “stiff Ukrainian Resistance” weren’t sniping from the windows of those Missile-destroyed apartment blocks or even maternity hospitals? Isn’t this how urban guerrilla warfare works? Have the Ukrainian Resistance fighters forewarned the women and children that they will be shooting from the windows of their apartment blocks?

        It’s one thing to struggle for truth in the fog of war … it’s quite another to swallow one side’s propaganda whole.

  3. Just like Iran and Venezuela.

    US oil company manager lauding ESG initiative.
    “We report to dozens of regulatory agencies, comply with Assembly and Senate bills in the state of California and submit over 600 regulatory reports per year.”

  4. Ahem. We’ve got oil, a whole heap of it. Kenny should put on his sales tie. No pipelines? We’ve got trains and trucks. Remember trucks? Too expensive? $135US a barrel says no. Biden’s administration can laugh at their voters and pretend they are Mother Nature’s guardian angels all they want. Someday, they will be gone and the oil will still be there. And it will be extracted.

    1. Before that Rat Phuque Kenney does anything.

      I want to know WHY the Persecution of Pastor Artur Pawlowski continues to this day.
      Another POLITICAL Prisoner…Like Tamara Litch and Pat King..??

      On WHOSE fucking Orders Jason..??
      Herr SS Standartanfurher Trudeau perhaps.??

      This country has been and continues to go to SHIT in a hand-basket…mostly due to a MEDIA no Better than SA Goons and a Population more concerned about a common cold than Citizens being arrested over hurt feelings.

    1. RD

      Someone needs to run that LYING KLUNT Over…right after they do Pelosi, Waters, the Squad et all.

      I guess after her twitter interaction with Elon Musk, she still don’t get it…No surprise there. And we got 2.5 more years of this insane shit…jesus. One hopes that someone in the Oil Industry slams that POS right back into her stolen Chevy Bolt.

  5. They only want dictator oil, our governments are at war with us and are determined to put “we the people” in it’s place.

  6. Hey dems. Look at what (you) did.

  7. John Kerry and others who agree with his climate agenda are evil. I do not say this lightly. He doesn’t give a damn about the Ukrainians who are dying, the war in Ethiopia, Yemen and Afghanistan, the Uighurs, the slaughter of Christians, the drug war in Mexico and on and on. What reporting is done on that? Almost nothing. Their green agenda is all that matters. Who cares if a few million die from starvation and cold? Just a bump on the road to their supposed utopia.

  8. Interestingly enough, I fully agree with Peppermint Psaki. Restarting Keystone will not rid this planet of stupid politicians & bureaucrats.

    White House says no plans to restart Keystone XL pipeline amid soaring gas prices

    https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/mar/9/white-house-says-no-plans-restart-keystone-xl-pipe/

    “The Biden administration will not resume construction on the Keystone XL pipeline, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday.

    “There are no plans for that,” Ms. Psaki said of restarting construction. “It would not address any of the problems that we are currently having.””

    1. That’s what Prinz Dummkopf means when he refers to pootin’.

  9. I’ll ask it here again … Has Germany turned off the Russian gas and oil spigots? Let alone all the other European NATO nations suckling at Russia’s teat? Answer: No. Enough said. Trump was 100% correct … and these nations representatives laughed at him. The American toy-poodle media laughed at him. Now they are fully funding Putin’s War in Ukraine. The death of every suburban Ukrainian woman and child are on Germany’s bloody hands.

    1. The vindication of Trump and his strategic forecasts over the past two weeks has been substantial. We will never hear that from the media.

  10. Anyone who believes in CO2 causing climate change, and “covid” does not have a functioning brain.

  11. Finally a proven way of earning money online. Yes! you can earn more than you think only KJFV by working just a few hours from home regularly. I have been doing this job for like a few weeks and my last weekly payment was exactly 2537 dollars.

  12. More blatant dishonesty from Time.
    https://time.com/6156525/gas-prices-oil-prices-oil-and-gas-industry/

    The claim made is that the oil industry will not rapidly invest in expanding production because the industry has become inherently more conservative in its nature, and not because of regulatory constraints issued by the Brandon administration. No mention is made of the fact that the industry’s conservative nature is a direct result of government’s relentless attacks on the industry and its products over the past two decades; attacks based on horribly flawed science generated by researchers funded by the government and directed to the conclusion that the government wants.
